Their first commercial dance release 'Sweetest Dreams' which burst into clubland in 2003, was reviewed by Guy Ornadel as "A great emotive hands in the air Vangelis trance track with excellent key programming, I've no doubt this will be MASSIVE at Passion, Gatecrasher & Godskitchen - it's a stormer!!"
He wasn't wrong, having won the Lynx White Label Euphoria Competition on Tall Paul’s Kiss 100 show, the buzz around the track resulted in huge label interest with Graham Gold beating the pack to snap it up for Relative Records. When released, a remix provided by up and coming producer Greg Murray (Platipus/Lost Language) found a place within many DJ's boxes, it continued to receive massive airplay and jumped on various compilations. On first hearing the track, established Dutch producer Ferry Corsten later remixed the track establishing it as a true anthem with airplay on both Kiss FM and Radio 1's Dance Anthems. The track has received major support from the likes of Paul Van Dyk, Armin Van Buuren, Dave Pearce, Scott Bond, Matt Hardwick, Adam White and many more.
Not being solely limited to the constraints of one style, Corderoy spend time writing and producing in many varying techniques, with other aliasis to their name. Although heavily involved in writing and producing their own material, Corderoy still find time to turn their unique style into remixing other artist tracks. With their pinnacle work being their BBC Radio 1 remix of Marc Et Claude's 'La' released on Positiva Records in 2003.
In 2004 Corderoy followed up their record breaking first release with a another stormer namely 'Deeper'. Featuring the vocals of the ultra talented Kirstie Gorton the track went on to gain huge support from all the big names, also gaining the honour of it being voted Judge Jules web chart winner by the public, even beating Eric Prydz 'Call on me' to win. Jules went on to champion the track on his show with 8 weeks continuous play on Radio 1.

The song 'Touch Your Face' by Corderoy seems to be a simple and repetitive track on the surface, but it has deeper meanings if we look at it closely. The central theme of this song is longing, which is highlighted by the repetition of the phrase "Touch Your Face" throughout the song. Touching someone's face is an intimate gesture that is generally reserved for the person you have feelings for or are in love with, and the singer is using this imagery to convey his longing for someone.
The song is also about the act of yearning for something that is out of reach, the idea of being in love with someone who is unattainable, and the agony of being unable to have them. The lyrics symbolize the sense of internal yearning that the singer experiences, almost like he's trying to bridge the distance between them with this song.
The overall mood of the song is melancholic, and the heavy use of electronic sounds and futuristic beats emphasize the emotional distance that exists between the two people. The repetition of the phrase "Touch Your Face" is an emphasis on how much the singer wants to be close to the person he loves and feel their touch, and it conveys a sense of frustration and sadness.
